Really enjoying building water

[BigNastyBrew]

I brewed my second batch with water adjustments yesterday. Vienna Lager. Hit a Mash pH of 5.4 with only 1gm of MgSO4 and a 50% dillution rate.

Profile looked like this:

Ca: 32
Mg: 27
Alkalinity: 74
Sodium: 42
Chloride: 99
Sulfate: 48

I left the Chloride to sulfate ratio higher on purpose to get a very malty profile. Of course, I recently switched to Rager for BU calculations which tends to be little more generous with IBU's so we'll see how she works out.

As for lagering.... Cooled the wort down to 44° and aerated/pitched this morning. She finally has gotten up to 48° and I have to JC at 49°. We'll see how it goes.

Yeah, but it was awarded to 'JP Is MY Copilot", so he's really just solidifying his position alongside Captain Carrot... though, I dub the good Captain FORUM TIME LORD. You may have to change your name to Captain Celery though...
